Dear Marjorie and Family, Please accept my deepest sympathy in the loss of your loved one. “Senor Tritto” was my Spanish teacher at Kensington High School back in 1972. He was one of my favorite teachers because he was kind, caring, creative, funny, and encouraging. He made Spanish so interesting and relevant. He shared profound and beautiful Spanish poetry and music with us, taking the time and making the effort to bring in a record player and albums. I was especially moved by poetry Pablo Neruda and stories of what large corporations like United Fruit were doing in Latin America. I still remember the songs “Deurme Negrita” and “Caminante No Hay Camino – Se Hace Camino Al Andar.” Senor Tritto didn’t just teach Spanish to us – he helped us understand our world and appreciate poetry and music. He instilled in me a lifelong passion for peace and social justice. Back then, in my college years, it led me to volunteer and then work at the Western New York Peace Center, where I met Walter, my husband now of 32 years, who was then director of the Center. So what I learned in his class has had a great influence on my life. I would like to add one more comment regarding Senor Tritto’s love for his students and generosity in sharing his time and knowledge. He offered to our second year Spanish class the opportunity to take extra after-school classes to study Spanish 3 so we could take that exam in June. Due to his excellent teaching skills and patience I passed with a 93! He just beamed at me and I was so happy to make him proud. He was so special to me and so many others, and he will be greatly missed. With Sympathy and So Much Appreciation, Nan Lampka Simpson P.S. He was such a sweetheart and so guapo (handsome) I know everyone had a crush on him!
